These Weird Things On Deer Are Worse Than What They Appear To Be

What the heck are these?! Fret not, as it is not some alien parasite out to get the animal kingdom to the brink of extinction.

The deer actually have fibromatosis. Simply put, it refers to a group of harmless soft tissue tumors. Its growth pattern is infiltrative, and it can negatively affect both fat and skeletal muscles. More importantly, fibromatosis can be observed in both humans and animals, so do be careful -- treatment primarily requires surgery. The good thing, at least, is that the mortality rate is very low for those who have peripheral tumors.
